SCP2D1

Chr 20

SCP2 sterol binding domain containing 1

Also known as: C20orf79, HSD22, dJ1068E13.2

SCP2D1 encodes a protein predicted to function in the cytosol, though its specific molecular role remains unclear. Mutations in this gene have not been definitively associated with any recognized genetic disorders in current medical literature. The gene appears tolerant to loss-of-function variants based on population genetics data.

Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
